Going to America for the 2nd time was exciting because I was going to spend the entire summer there, I had a lot more confidence coming into this season because I had a lot more experience under my belt and had one a lot more contests, and winning the Australian Nationals in the Open Men’s Division just days before I started my season in America gave me a huge confidence boost heading into the first event, in Orlando, Florida, at Wake Games.
First stop in Orlando was at Aaron Brown’s place. Aaron is really good wakeboarder and he lives with his Mum on a lake at Clermont. I met Aaron the previous year when he was riding the Junior Mens Pro Tour. His family invited me to come stay with them which was a great way to start my trip. I went into Wake Games in one of the hardest heats of the day heading up against Kyle Evans, Jacob Valdez, and Freddie Wayne.
I stood up the best pass I had ever done and won the heat and was through to the semi final. I had a solid ride in the semi finals and was into the finals against the the top riders in the contest such as Noah Flegel, Freddie Wayne and Daniel Powers. I didn’t have the best ride in the finals but was still stoked on my result getting 3rd and bagging my first US podium at the first event of the season so I was stoked to start on a good foot
